VVith these and other 0bjects in view, as Will uppear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features 0f construction and arrangement of arts which Will be m0re fully described and set f0rth with particularity in the appended claims.

Referring t0 the drawings,Figure 1 is a fragmentary view 0f a front t0 rear secti0n 0f my improved safe, Fig. 2 is a. ver tical sect-ion taken 011 the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction 0f the arrow.

Similar characters 0f reference are used to denote like arts throughout the accompanying drawings und the annexed specificati0n.

My improved safe, by reference t0 Figs. 1 and 2, will be seen as constructed preferably of spherioal 01' globular f0rm und has an 0 ening 1 in the fr0nt wal1 thereof whic is provided intermediate its ends with suitable threa.ds 2, the inner and outer ends of the openings 1 being en- Specification 01 Letters Patent.

hug0t] und cunhuc1ed r0speetively 10 provide bearing shnulders 3 and 4. '1he shun1ders 3 und 4 am provided in t'h0ir V01- tical 1aees with reresscs 01- grooves 5 nnd 0 respeciively, und 0xlend in the wal] 0f H10 Hilft, t0ward the 0uter flute therc0f. A1- 1anged t0 0ecupy the 0pening 1 in the f10nt wall of the safe is a (1001 7 having threads 8 intermediate its ends which engage tl1e internal 01 female threads 2 01 the opening 1. The 1ear 0f the d001 7 is enlurged circumferentially and provided with a. forwurdly extending flange 9 which engages und binde in the annular recess 5 Surr0unding the opening 1, when the (100! is moved (0 closed 01' locked position. 'Jhe f0rward 01' front end 0f the (1001 is (01111'1101ed 10 form an nnnular shoulder 10 m1d projecting fr0m the vertical face 0f the shoulder 10 is n. circular flange 11 which engages and binds in the recess 6 when th0 said d0or is revo]ved t0 closed 01 locked p0siti0n.

Projecting forwardly from the center 0f the 0ute1 face Qf ehe d001 T is a stud 01" projecti0n 12 up0n which is arranged a handle 13 held in place by suitable means n0t shown. Projecting rearwardly f1'0n1 th0 center 0f the 1ea1 face 0f the (1001 is a bearin Ing 01 pr0jecti0n 14 which is 0f circular 01'111 in cxoss section und has its free end engaged by a nut 14.

Arranged within the safe is a pair 0f spaced horizontally extending guide r0ds 15, whieh lattex: have their ends suitably secured 130 the inne1 Walls 0f the safe. Mounted t0 slide up0n the said guide rods is a V shaped hanger 16 Which has its lower end pr0vided with a bearing sleeve which surr0unds the bearing 111g 14 und is securely held in place 9y the nut 14 0n the end 0f the bearing From the above described construction it will be readily apparent that the handle up0n the d00r may be grasped t0 revolve the 01001 and disengage the 831118 fr0m the fr0nt Wall 0f the safe, the d001 7 being m0ved inwardly of the safe by unscrewing th0 same, and supported through the medium 0f the hanger 16 Which also moves inward of th0 safe upon the guide r0ds 15 with the (1001 7.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanyin drawings the advant-ages 0f construct1on and meth0d 0f operation will b0 readily a parent to those skilled in the art to w 1ch the invcntiun relates, und while I have desc1ibed the principal ope1ation 0f the inventi0n, t0gether with the device Which I 110W consider t0 be tl1e best cmbodiment the1eof, 1 desire t0 have 113 understood that such changes may be mude when desired as :1re within the scope 0f the appended claims.
